An update… the autorespond email has gone successfully to a gmail account I’ve used, but is still not turning up in my hotmail or my wife’s yahoo account.

Sorry, one more design question…
Is it possible to put pictures in the ‘Thankyou email’?
Ben
Hi Ben – emails are tricky to troubleshoot. From what you have told me it seems like there is an issue at certain email providers not passing on the email – this is out of the scope or control of the plugin. You could try signing up with a service like Mandrill integrated into WP with wpMandrill. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpmandrill/
This service by passes the mail systems of your website hosting company and uses MailChimps email servers. MailChimp should be considered safe by most email providers.
Your design question is yes you can but you’ll need to consult a designer here.
Is it possible to put pictures in the ‘Thankyou email’?
Yes I do have a plugin that works with Easy Sign Up to add this extra functionality, it is not currently available, as I am working on it’s distribution website. Watch this thread for an update, hopefully by Thursday this week.
And is it possible to remove the ‘Last Name’ option from the form?
Yes you’ll do that via the shortcode attribute fnln
[easy_sign_up title="Free Newsletter" phone="0" fnln="0" ]
The code above will hide the phone and combine first and last names into name
If you need to reference the short code there is a help tab in the easy sign-up options screen. This is found in the same location as regular WordPress help. Top right in your browser window.
As promised here is a link to the easy extra website http://www.beforesite.com
Hi again,
“And is it possible to remove the ‘Last Name’ option from the form?

Sorry, I don’t know where/how to do this. Where do I put it?
Also, I looked at your new website. Is it a paid option that I need in order to put a photo in the emails? Could you please clarify that for me?
Thanks,
Ben
Oh, I should mention that I’m using it as a Widget on a side content bar, not on each and every page/post.
Ben
Navigate to the general widget settings screen in your admin.
Locate the Easy Sign Up widget in the the sidebar / footer widget area where you set it.
Then uncheck the Separate the first and last name fields check box.
Save and you’re done.

No purchase is necessary, in the order responder editor click on the text tab.
This will allow you to edit the html. Just pop in your image there.
The Easy Styles Extra helps out by adding functionality to access to the WordPress media library.
Hope this sorts everything out for you. I would love it if you’d take the time to give the plugin a review @ https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/easy-sign-up
Thanks mate. I got a photo in the email, and I was able to remove the last name from the sign-up page! Thanks so much. Very impressed!
